I have been known to hang smallish cloth bags on the tension bar, and then can add and subtract weight until I am happy with it

We have a wonderful fabric shop near where I live that sells beautiful fringes with bangles and faux jewels or other fancy stuff. I have used some of her fringes for scarves. They weigh down the ends
